What's your point of living? You're all eventually going to die. When you die, there will be no afterlife. It's almost as if you never existed in the first place because you'll forget you'll ever existed, thus you'll forget about anything that made you happy in life and any good moments in life. You can "make the best of it" while you're "here on Earth" for these "rare 80 [only if you're lucky] years", but in the end it won't matter. Most people won't leave behind a legacy, and even if you left one behind, it won't last long. Even famous luminaries like Michael Jackson or Elvis Presley will be forgotten sooner than later. Your contributions to humanity won't matter either because humanity will end, and life on Earth will be wiped out by a meteor in a few centuries from now or even sooner. If that doesn't happen, humans will go extinct anyway by robots.
Hello!
"What's my point of living" ?
Uhm... because I'm currently alive? I guess?
"You're We're all eventually going to die"
Fixed that for ye there. Uhm... who knows. With medicine making the great strides that it is perchance we'll be the first generation to actually be able to live 'Forver' (Or untill that bus with our name on it gets us. )
"When you die, there will be no afterlife. It's almost as if you never existed in the first place because you'll forget you'll ever existed, thus you'll forget about anything that made you happy in life and any good moments in life."
Which... is pretty much true of any one you can not think of who lived...Oooh... back in the 1700s who didn't leave their name on a history book, right? nothing chaning there.
"Your contributions to humanity won't matter either because humanity will end, and life on Earth will be wiped out by a meteor in a few centuries from now or even sooner. If that doesn't happen, humans will go extinct anyway by robots."
Oh well. If that's your take away from today's Si-Fi shows then, great.
My take is that, as a species, since we've worked out language and symbols and other 'Social human things' we've managed to spread from @rse-hole to breakfast across this planet as well as small steps beyond.
Humans are effectivly more endemic than roaches.
Hit the world with a big rock and, baring removing the atmosphere, we'll be scraping fungus off rocks till the green stuff grows back to get by.
I don't think the world has seen an organisam like us since algae converted the atmosphere mostly to oxygen....
Still.. welcome to the forums and enjoy your stay.
Not at work.
